[PATCH] bogus BUILD_BUG_ON() in bpa_iommu

[Al Viro <viro@ftp.linux.org.uk>]

	BUILD_BUG_ON(1) is asking for trouble (and getting it) when used
in that manner - dead code elimination happens after we parse it and
invalid type is invalid type, dead code or not.
	It might be version-dependent, but at least 4.0.1 refuses to
accept that.
